As I've been adding quite a few new addr:postcode tags as part of the quarterly project to use the FHRS data, I began wondering what the overall state of addr:postcode tags was in the UK. I've started doing a bit of analysis, which has began by checking the OSM postcodes against the Code-Point Open dataset.
The first output I've produced is a list of likely errors where addr:postcode values either do not have the appropriate formatting or do not match an entry in Code-Point Open. There's quite a large number of such errors, although it's pretty small as a percentage of the total addr:postcode tags. If you're interested, have a look at http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postcodes/osm-errors.html and see if you can help by fixing any of them. Some will be errors in source data, but others could well be typos and transcription errors.
